Far Beyond the High Street - Charlene Soraia

I live in a house

It’s split into four separate homes

Neighbours always argue

I often call for the police to come

I wish they’d leave each other alone

I never venture far beyond the high street

I never venture far beyond the high street

I live in a house

It homes seven separate lives

I wonder if the neighbours

Ever press their ears to the walls to hear me cry

We couldn’t care less

We couldn’t care more

Fuck the neighbours

Fuck them all

I never venture far beyond the high street

I never venture far beyond the high street

Unless I venture to the west world

Journeys bring me back

To the only joy I had

As a teenage girl

I never venture far beyond the high street

I live in a house

Its split into four separate homes
